Wet felting = all washed up

Maya, Froggy’s Fiber Followings

I have a tendancy to jump in to crafty things with both feet… over the bridge… jumping in the water… no instructions… well, I think you get the point. So a long story short I tried my hand at “nuno felting“. Notice the quotes… that’s because it so wasn’t nuno felting. Here is the outcome of my fateful first attempt.

wet felted scarf

Notice the piece of white  sticking out along the bottom? That was my attempt to use muslin as the fabric to which the fiber should adhere. Adhere it did not! In fact, I managed to salvage this scarf by gently prying the fiber apart and sliding it out the bottom. Then I felted the scarf again so that there wasn’t a gaping whole through the middle.

So, uh… next time I shall look before I leap. Maybe.

    You’re not the only one who does that..I figure if I’m going to screw up, it might as well be spectacular. :D

    Nothing is ever wasted if it can be used in a mixed media collage!
